Then came a prolonged Spanish dominance of the continent, but Spaniards were not very sporting, although one reads of stadiums for up to 5,000 people in Buenos Aires where pelota was played — a kind of squash with a ball played against a wall, mostly by hand. True, cricket and tennis was first played here by soldiers during the 19th century British invasion and later soccer by English sailors from ships in the port area, watched by incredulous locals who wondered what these “locos ingleses” (crazy English) were up to. But in neither case can this be taken as British influence in local sport. So it was not until people from Britain came to live and work here during the 19th century that they introduced organised sport. First, the railway workers and as the British-owned railways and its employees gradually branched out to most parts of the country, so did their sport. The Buenos Aires Football Club was founded in 1867 with T. Jackson, T. B. Smith, W. Heald, T. and J. Hogg forming its first committee. It was agreed that the first match was to take place on May 25 on a ground next to the Boca Railway Station, but it did not come off because the field was under water. Sunday soccer was taboo for the British then, so they had to wait until the next holiday, June 20, to play the first match at the Buenos Aires Cricket Club ground (formed in 1861) where the Planetarium stands today. The Association Football League was formed in 1893 with A. Watson Hutton of the English High School as president. His team (later to become the famous alumni), Flores, Quilmes, Rosario Railway (later Rosario Central) and Lomas being the five participants. Lomas were the unbeaten champions with F. Carter, P. M. Rath, C. W. Reynolds, P. Bridger, T. Bridge, A. Buchanan, A. Anderson, F. H. Jacobs, W. and G. Leslie and W. G. Cowes. They again won the title unbeaten the following year. http://www.buenosairesherald.com/BreakingNews/View/34546 Page 1 of 4 The British influence on local sport - BuenosAiresHerald.com 9/5/14, 12:49 AM Sixty years later, British sporting spirit was still revered in Argentina. There were strong rumours of local soccer referees being bribed to fix matches, so the Argentine Football Association hired eight British referees to control matches. But we all know how Argentina became one of the world's leading soccer nations, with two World Cups, and what the game means to Argentines today. The first tennis matches (on grass) by local residents were also played at the oldest club, the Buenos Aires Cricket Club, at Palermo in 1879. The game quickly became popular — the club's first open tournament in 1886 had 53 singles and 10 doubles entries. The singles winner was a man named Richards and in the doubles it was Richards and Hill. When the Cricket Club found that tennis was drawing too much attention, it was expelled from the Palermo fields, leading to the formation of what is today the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club. Exclusively tennis clubs were soon founded in different areas, specially in Rosario which, with its large British community, rivalled Buenos Aires in all sports. Stanley and Lionel Knight were frequent title winners in the early days, but more and more Argentines took up the game early in the 20th century. Today, tennis is one of the biggest sports with its players winning tournaments all over the world and frequently figuring in the world's 10 top- ranked players... none more so than the now-retired Guillermo Vilas. The first news of rugby matches being played here by Britons was in 1871, but in 1973, the already mentioned Buenos Aires Football Club decided to incorporate the game under the rules of Rugby Union. The first game was played, as many other sports, in Palermo near the present day Planetarium. In its first season there were many broken bones and the game was banned by the police and not heard of again until 1876. Ten years later many Argentines were taking up the game and early in the 20th century complete Argentine teams appeared. With the formation of the Argentine Rugby Union, with Leslie Corry Smith as its president, the first championship was held in 1899 with four British community clubs and won by Lomas, but by 1911, Gimnasia y Esgrima was the first Argentine club to take the title. The game made great strides and today Argentina is among the leading rugby nations of the world with hardly any English names appearing among its leading players but being one of the few sports to maintain the “British sporting spirit”. Field hockey played its first known match here in 1908, though it was taught in British community schools to girls before then and there were probably unofficial games at British community clubs. Quilmes High School played Alexandra College in the first reported girls match that year and the Belgrano AC was the first club where it was played by men, though there are reports of members of the Pacific (today San Martín) Railway Club playing in 1905. In 1908, an Argentine Hockey League, for men, was formed with Belgrano, San Isidro (now CASI) and San Martín, but the first women's championship only in 1924. The game was played by Britons and Anglo-Argentines at first, but by the 1930s more and more Argentines were joining in, specially women and today Argentina's national women's team is second-ranked in the world, also winning a World Cup. Polo was first played here by British farmers on their ranches, the first reported game at the Estancia Negrette at Ranchos belonging to David Shennan and C. H. Krabbe, in 1874. Local farm workers, all expert riders virtually born on a horse, soon took a fancy to it. The first open tournament was at the Hurlingham Club in 1889 and the first Argentine Open in 1893. This has become the major tournament of the world and the polo stadium in Palermo is today called the “Cathedral of Polo”. http://www.buenosairesherald.com/BreakingNews/View/34546 Page 2 of 4 The British influence on local sport - BuenosAiresHerald.com 9/5/14, 12:49 AM Hurlingham Club were the first winners with Frank Balfour, Frank Furber, J. C. Tetley and Hugo Scott-Robinson. Yet by 1901, more and more Spanish names appeared among the players, although players from traditional polo playing families, with English names, still appear at tournaments. But to cut a long story short, Argentina are the sport's undisputed world champions, so much so that no open world championships are held. It would hardly be fair! As far as can be ascertained, the Hurlingham Club laid out the first golf course in 1891, while other records say the game was first played in San Martín with Scotsmen being prominent. But there were soon more courses as the game quickly became popular. The first Amateur Golf Championship of the River Plate was played in 1895 with G. Barker from Montevideo winning it. As in other sports, more and more Argentines began playing early in the 20th century. By 1905, there were professionals, at first instructors from the U.K. and in 1905 the first Open Championship of the River Plate was played — today the Argentine Open. Argentine professionals now win tournaments all over the world — many like the first prominent one, Roberto De Vicenzo, first “learning the trade” as caddies at clubs with British influence. Today there are over 200 courses around the country. These were some of the sports introduced by the British which became popular and in which Argentina is now a prominent world player, but many other sports were also first played here by workers and settlers from the UK and which also continue to be played here. Cricket was actually the first sport played in Argentina by Britishers with the climate and long summers probably responsible. The Buenos Aires Cricket Club — claiming to be the first club — was founded in 1861, also in Palermo (where the Planetarium now stands) and the Rosario Cricket Club, the first club in that city, in 1867.

Mr. Kapuuo's views are well known to the Secretary-General (they met during the Secretary-General's visit to Namibia). However, I would like to draw his attention to two points made this morning by Chief Kapuuo in his statement before the Fourth Committee. (a) He said: "¥e ask the United Nations to recognise the National Convention as the only organization which represents the people of Namibia. Such a step would not only strengthen our Unity in Namibia but would also hasten the liberation of Namibia." It should be recalled in this connexion that at present the United Nations recognizes only SWAPO because of the decision to grant recognition only to the liberation movements that have already been recognized by the Organization of African Unity. (b) Chief Kapuuo also said: "The National Convention appointed a Constitutional Committee to draft a constitution for the future Government of Namibia.

  • Tierra, Clubes Y Poder: La Influencia Política De Los Terratenientes En Las Repúblicas Oligárquicas
    Tierra, clubes y poder: la influencia política de los terratenientes en las repúblicas oligárquicas. Evidencia de Argentina (1880-1912) Valentín Figueroa Marcelo Leiras Universidad de San Andrés Universidad de San Andrés Departamento de Ciencias Sociales Departamento de Ciencias Sociales Version Preliminar, Junio de 2014 No citar sin el permiso de los autores Trabajo presentado en el Encuentro Anual 2014 de la Red para el Estudio de la Economía Política de América Latina, Santiago de Chile, 9 y 10 de Junio de 2014 1 Resumen La influencia política de los grandes terratenientes ha sido extensamente debatida. Su condición de elite económica da a los empresarios rurales acceso a dinero y a contingentes de empleados que pueden ser objeto de manipulación electoral. Estudios recientes han resaltado que no es el capital que disponen sino el control sobre sus empleados lo que garantiza la representación de sus intereses por parte de la elite política. En contexto de relativa escasez de trabajadores rurales, ese recurso no está disponible y puede obstaculizar la constitución de partidos agrarios o la influencia agropecuaria en otros partidos existentes. No obstante la riqueza agropecuaria puede permitir la influencia política de los terratenientes, confiriéndoles acceso a esferas de alta sociabilidad que facilitan su incorporación a partidos políticos constituidos. El presente estudio del caso argentino (1880-1912) muestra que los terratenientes más insertos en esferas de alta sociabilidad tenían más alta probabilidad de acceder a cargos políticos y que una vez electos legislaban de acuerdo con sus intereses económicos. 2 1. Introducción El tipo de competencia propio de las oligarquías electorales1 es uno en el que las elites políticas se disputan elecciones mediante coerción y clientelismo.

Iniciamos hoy esta crónica de las instituciones cuya tradición en remo y vela ha conjugado la actividad del hombre que juega con la del que persigue la formación del cuerpo y de la mente, en contacto con el río y con el mar, grandes maestros de la voluntad, la previsión y el esfuerzo. Estas páginas mostrarán la cuna de las tripulaciones con las que compiten en franca camaradería las de la Armada, en especial nuestros cadetes, remeros o tripu- lantes de yates. Quedará aquí constancia de lo educativo de estas actividades. Conoceremos de la disciplina del entrenamiento como formación de carácter y de la moderación frente al triunfo y a la derrota. Podremos apreciar que, mientras el tiempo desdibuja las fechas y los lugares, los hombres y mujeres que practicaron estos deportes no olvidan las señales que llegaron hasta su alma, para iluminarla y enriquecerla.

  • Orígenes Del Atletismo Argentino
    RUBEN PEDRO AGUILERA Orígenes del atletismo argentino Juan Carlos Zabala SEGUNDA EDICION Dedicado a la memoria de Leopoldo Falconi Un argentino olvidado. El autor quiere dejar reflejado aquí el profundo agradecimiento a la familia Amaisón por haber hecho posible la segunda edición de este libro. Ellos sin ningún afán de lucro o de interés personal, han posibilitado que esta humilde obra pueda llegar a bibliotecas, hemerotecas, centros de estudios y entidades educativas. De esta manera posibilitarán que sea de gran utilidad para lectores en general, estudiantes y amantes de nuestro deporte que deseen conocer nuestros orígenes. Gracias por este gesto invalorable. 4 Prólogo «Una obra única y necesaria» Cuando Rubén me invitó a redactar el prólogo para su libro sobre la historia del atletismo argentino me saltaron emociones contradictorias: alegría, pudor, y cierto nerviosismo. Pudor porque uno teme no estar a la altura del texto que le piden que introduzca, y cierto nerviosismo porque creo que el lector debe estar ávido de llegar al centro de esta obra y, por lo tanto, puede resultarle tedioso tener que atravesar esta suerte de cáscara. Pero la invitación de Rubén me generó, también, alegría. Y como me parece que, de las tres emociones suscitadas ésta es la más valiosa, en ella voy a detenerme. Como periodista uno trata de transmitirle al lector o al público en general el análisis de lo sucedido en el deporte, y en el atletismo, en particular, las estadísticas, récords, rankings, marcas, son fundamentales para sustentar cualquier resumen y en eso Rubén ha sido un actor fundamental con su tarea estadística, pero aún más con su labor periodística y de investigación.

J.A. MANGAN To begin in a sense at the end with three significant quotations: The Consequences of the ‘Expansion of Europe’ The rise and fall of the modern colonial empires have changed dramatically the human geography of the planet. The ‘expansion of Europe’ which began in the late fifteenth century … led, sometimes intentionally sometimes not, to the destruction of entire peoples who had been born and reared in colonies and whose futures, and sense of identity, were markedly divergent from those of either the European invaders or the societies of the Aboriginal populations. In its final phase it also created new states, and new political forms, or renewed and transformed versions of older political types, one of which – democratic republicanism – was to become the dominant ideology of the modern industrialised world.1 And; From European Hegemony to American Hegemony In the nineteenth century [there] was the Industrial Revolution, of which Great Britain was the driving force.
